It is undeniable that the bubble tea trend has returned once again. (Of course I remember during my teenager years when it was a must-have to have these drinks, until the bubble burst.)

“Bubble tea” is no longer the same as it is the past, as brands are finding ways to chut-pattern – from the rainbow coloured or ombre drinks, cheese milk tea, to the recent Brown Sugar milk craze in which many shops continue to enjoy long lines.

I wonder if the folks at HPB drink their bubble tea. Anyway, as 2019 is here, and everyone’s focus is on going healthy and losing weight once again, here’s a look at the Fruit Teas available in Singapore.
The Fruit Teas which are packed with fruits, looking all colourful in tall cups, make them attractive drink for takeaways.

My recommendation is always to go for the minimum sugar, so that you can taste the natural flavours of both the tea and sweetness from fruits.

If you want to sip on a stimulating tea with chunks of fruits in your cup, check out the following 15 places that serve some of the best Fruit Teas in Singapore.

It is especially refreshing with various elements from the different fruits – citrusy-sweetness from the orange slices, crisp-fruitiness from watermelon, and passionfruit providing that light tartness.

If not, you can get the Supreme Orange 霸气橙子 ($6.50). The cup that ensure you get your Vitamin C. Every cup actually consists of 2 whole oranges – a fruit one sliced, and the other freshly squeezed into juice.

This juice is then blast-frozen from Taiwan, for maximum nutrients and taste before it is imported into Singapore. Nayuki 奈雪の茶 (Vivocity)

ARTRA’s Signature Fruit Tea ($8.20) is probably the fruit tea with the most variety of fruits in a single cup – all seven of them.

These include watermelon, rock melon, strawberries, mango, orange, passionfruit, and lime. Though yes, it is slightly pricey.

A mixture of orange juice and quality “Four Seasons Spring Oolong” 四季春 is used as the base – so named because the tea produces four flushes (or harvests) each year that still have the flavour of a spring flush.

The fragrant tea has a light floral aroma of spring flowers, and clean and sweet aftertaste, which makes it ultra-refreshing in the hot Singapore weather.

Also, the drink comes in a 1000cc cup, making it more value for its money, included generous chunks of fruits. ARTEA (Vivocity)

Muyoo’s menu is centred around fruit-based beverages, namely the Cheese Cloud Fruit Teas, Fun Fruit Teas and Fruit Smoothies. If you would like a healthy, no-frills drink, you can go for the “Fun Fruit Tea”.

The Fruit Teas are known to comprise of fresh ingredients, with sliced fruits in full view within the cup.

Popular offerings include Green Tea Jelly with Lemon, Grapefruit with Jasmine, Pear with Pineapple, Passion Fruit with Aloe Vera and Cucumber, and Peach with Kalamansi and Passion Fruit.

The Peach with Kalamansi and Passion Fruit has that added slight sour and zingy-ness that I liked, making it a refreshing drink for the hot Singapore weather. MuYoo+ (Bedok Mall)

According to ParTea, everyone deserves a perfect cup of tea and they are here to make it possible, jazzing up your usual Chinese teas with fruits and tofu.

The tea-place offers a variety of colorful fruit-infused tea made of high-quality tea leaves from Taiwan and China.

They have up to 30 options to choose from, and each tea is paired with chunks of fruits, juices, tofu, and cheese cream.

There is ParTea‘s signature Rainbow Tea ($6.90); the delicious brew is loaded with various fruits such as mangoes, watermelon and strawberries. If you prefer your tea with milk, go for Fluffy Cloud Tea ($2.90) or Milky Mist Tea ($4.90).

True Boss 醋頭家 is the first fruit vinegar specialty tea shop in Singapore, a brand which hails from Taiwan.

The popular chain store which originated from Tainan specialises in fruit vinegar, bubble tea, fruit smoothies and vinegar yogurt.

A recommended is the Apple Vinegar with Fruits ($3.90, $4.90). The fruits used to make the vinegar include apple, plum, peach, cranberry and grape (limited), to produce flavours which remind customers of the original fruit.

It was almost like drinking apple juice, but with that slight fruity tang of the vinegar. Yet it was not as sharp and sour say contrasted with Apple Cider vinegar. True Boss 醋頭家 (Northpoint City)

If you think you will hear the notes of Rhythm & Blues flowing through the cafe, you are mistaken. The name stands for the owners ‘Rex and Bruce’, who decided to venture out and open their own tea place.

You will find about 30 concoctions of fruit-infused teas, bubble tea and tea topped with cheese cream and pearls.

A popular choice is the Zesty Lusi, of aromatic Jing Xuan tea, infused with mixed fruits such as lemon and watermelon slices.

When you are feeling Singapore is hot and really need a thirst quencher, go get the Mighty Luffy, coming in a XL size of 1000cc.

The refreshing drink is filled with an assortment of tropical fruits such as Watermelon, Lime, Lemon and freshly squeezed Oranges, included with Hawaiian Red Tea.

Like other tea chains, home-grown brand LiHo has a wide range of cheesy smoothies and fruit-infused teas.

They sometimes offer Fruit Teas which are not the usual offerings, such as Dragonfruit Green Tea –
jasmine green tea topped with dragonfruit juice; and Pineapple Fruit Tea – a summer-like combination of pineapples with slices of grapefruit and lime.

The shop also offers Fresh Lemon Yakult ($3.30), along with other flavours of Mango, Peach, Passion Fruit, and Green Apple Yakult, which is another great option with probiotics to enhance immunity and digestion.

Calling themselves ‘honest folks’, the people of Teafolia wish to serve with the nutritiously rich cup of tea. The cafe has a casual air about it which makes it a great hangout spot.

The collection of Fruit Teas on the menu uses either Four Seasons Tea from Taiwan, Royal Ceylon Black Tea from Sri Lanka or Green Tea paired with an assortment of fruits to create the different drinks.

My favourite was the Signature Fruit Tea ($5.90) which comes with Four Seasons Tea and fresh pineapple pulp as the base, topped with lime, watermelon, a slice of lemon and green apple.

Refreshing with a citrusy taste, the Signature Fruit Tea ($5.90) was strong, not that diluted in flavour. Teafolia (Tampines)
